Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 11 ounce Can of Mandarin Oranges Optionally, get an extra can for garnishing on top of the cake
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip
  • 20 ounce Can of Crushed Pineapple
  • 1/4 cup condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup Vanilla instant pudding

Instructions

  1. Follow the instructions of the cake mix, I prefer the Betty Crocker brand. Instead of adding water, substitute the water for the can of mandarin oranges. Make sure to add the juices as well as the mandarin fruit.
  2. Bake the cake in the oven at 350 degrees
  3. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting by combining the cool whip, condensed milk, and instant pudding.
  4. Drain the pineapples completely and fold them into the frosting.
  5. Place the frosting in the freezer until the cake has baked and completely cooled down
  6. Once the cake has completely cooled you can go ahead and frost it
  7. Optional: Decorate the frosted cake with mandarin oranges
